Pine Biochar (HIGH BET)

Pine Biochar Logo

Pine Biochar (High BET) is a organic soil conditioner with a very high BET (surface area) of 386m²/g. BET is a commonly used standard for measuring surface area of solids.

The higher BET increases the available micro-pores in Pine Biochar which significantly increases the surface area and reduces the application rate compared to standard biochar by 50%.

This offers several key improved benefits, including:

  • Reduces application rates compared to nornal Biochars.
  • Allows for an increase in the availability and retention of nutrients in the soil for soil microbes to exchange with the plants roots.
  • Helps repair damaged soils by encouraging soil microbe population growth and resultant organic matter.
  • Aids in improved plant growth.

Application rates vary depending on soil quality, irrigation, etc:

  • 500-750 litres per hectare for good to average soils
  • 1000 – 1500 litres per hectare for average to poor soils.
  • For smaller areas 2.5 litres biochar per cubic metre of soil. Ideally the biochar should be dug in or furrowed.
